Hello Girls…Today I'm reviewing Smashbox Camera Ready BB CreamI was really excited to buy this BB Cream and I have heard amazing reviews about it.The full size tubes are available in 8 shades and 2 shades are available in travel size. I got it in medium shade.

Packaging...It comes in a medium size black color tube with a matte screw cap. On front side,there is a little window so you can see the color from it. Ingredients(taken from sephora website)...Octinoxate 7.5 % -Octisalate 4% -Oxybenzone 2.5 % -Titanium Dioxide 1.10%

My Thoughts...First thing I have noticed was that it has really good coverage compared to others I have used. It blends well and you can build full coverage. I have combination skin in summer but dry skin in winter...weird...coming back to my skin type...oily T-zone,large pores around my nose and forehead and dry patches here and there. As I told you...i was really excited for this BB cream BUT this thing made my skin greasy and yellow-brownish in color. No matter what I applied it with (fingers,sponge,flat brush)the outcome was same. At first application it looks great but later on it oxidized and made my face blotchy and super greasy. The thing I like most is it fixed my flakey,dry and patchy skin...my skin is very dry in winters and my makeup literally flake off.It guarantees to reduce fine lines in 4 weeks, I can not comment on this.

Nude illusion 060($8.99 for 0.17 fl. oz) is a soft peachy beige shade with warm undertone and color coverage is semi opaque. It glides on smoothly. It lightly scented which doesn't bother much.

Applicator...

The applicator is feathery,cushiony and super soft, it picks up perfect amount of product. The leaf shaped applicator is flexible, you can use the tapered point to line the lips and flat side(middle part) can be use to fill the lips.

Texture and formula...

The texture of Maybelline Color Elixir Lip Color,Nude Illusion is like a liquid lip balm. Texture is creamy which leaves the lips soft and hydrating.

The formula isn't completely weightless,it is a bit heavy on lips. Maybelline Color Elixir Lip Color,Nude Illusion has smooth and even finish. The first application is little disappointing as the "Nude Illusion" is very sheer but it looks incredible in couple of layers. I like the natural shine of this shade. It is pretty pigmented shade.

I'm impressed with formula...Maybelline Color Elixir Lip Color,Nude Illusion is very comfortable on lips like a balm,pigmented like lipstick and shiny like a gloss. The only downside is poor lasting power.
